Everyone,
The lightbulb in the main light fitting in my living room exploded yesterday when I pressed the switch to turn it off before I went to bed. It tripped the MCB. The circuit has lights on it - in my living room, hall, kitchen and utility room.
Now the MCB will not switch back on. I have tried turning the complete supply off and the MCB switch will not flip over to on - was going to see if I turned it on and then the mains supply back on whether it would trip again.
Does this sound like just the MCB is faulty? If so can I change it myself without calling in an electrician?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
